Thanks for the nice report. The DMA timeouts are a known problem
with that patch, it's fixed in the new one. Could you try this
patch:

That was safe. It was a del_timer from inside the timer handler,
which is not needed.

Yes, nasty timeout handling. The patch above takes a somewhat
different approach.
